Michael Cohen's lawyer says he's talking to Watergate's John Dean

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The attorney representing President Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen said he’s been seeking guidance from President Nixon’s ex-counsel.

Lanny Davis told Politico on Sunday that he had reached out to John Dean, the former White House counsel who became a key witness in the Watergate scandal after pleading guilty to a single count of obstruction of justice.

“I reached out to my old friend John Dean because of what he went through with Watergate, and I saw some parallels to what Michael Cohen is experiencing,” Davis told the outlet.

“I wanted to gain from John’s wisdom,” he continued.

3. Ahhhhhh..... now I understand why Spanky was ranting about 'the rat' John Dean

Damn it must suck to see your world caving in on you, one indictment at a time. Spanky is getting crazier by the day, it's getting a little worrisome wondering what he'll do every time he lashes out at the 'witch hunt'.

4. I'm glad that Lanny Davis is working with him.

Hopefully he'll be able to convince Cohen to plead.

6. If Cohen is cooperating (which I believe), Lanny is not going to tell us.

7. Looks like I am wrong.

9. It just hit me why this is such a Brilliant Move by Davis!

He is so deftly trolling Trump now that not only is Cohen likely to turn on Trump, Trump's own White House Counsel Don McGahn (aka today's John Dean), has already been providing testimony to Mueller, and for longer than Trump and his personal lawyers knew, AND they don't even know what McGann has shared with Mueller's team.

OMG Lanny is killin Trump here. My guess he has done this purely to F@&K with the Orange Shitgibbon.
